Norman "Law" Deals Harshly
With Barleycorns' Friends
Before nineteen hundred and dry 1 "Altho there is not one-tenth as
—it was quite a usual thing for many much drinking at present as there
people to have liquor in their homes, hhas been in the past there are more
but now that they are unable to ob-\drunks than in the earlier days. It

STATE MEDICAL MEN .ORDINANCE PROHIBITS
PLANT TRUES NOW.
Spring is almost here. The pre
sent state of the weather may not
seem very conductive of thoughts of
balmy breezes and twittering robins
but it won't last.
.'Vfter we have finished with our
annual mushy ravihgs about lull
moons and a "youngh iu *.ns fancy" i
wip be time for us to settle down
and consider the actukl benefits with
whilh old Mother Nature condecend
to bless us in the springtime.
First and formost of these is th
obvious necessity that our fair an
progressive city needs to be dresse
in a new set of shade trees
The founders of Norman had th
foresight to plant numberless tree
on the then bald prairie to mak
for the negligence of nature in pro
viding shade for this scetion of the
sovereign state of Oklahoma
These trees are now in the mellow
prime of a ripe old age and the
will not be with us for lone 1
i- tor us to replace them with other
The city fathers planted tree> tha
would mature quickly but unf >rtun
ately these trees were short lived
They are t*a-t dying now and if the
are not replaced by good trees
they will be gone with no othei
replace them-
Now is the time to plant trees. Ni
only do they enchance the beauty of
your property but the> raise its valu
Plant trees that will last. You are
not planting for the present alone
What you do now will be apprec
ated by the coming generation.

I1KSK 'all day" dresses have given
us something that Is new and in-
ustngly Interesting to think about.
Just how close a second they will final-
ly run to the suit and to the tailored
skirt and separate skirt, Is something
out to be foretold, especially since the
aew models show that manufacturers
re taking advantage of the liking for
imocks In designing them. To the
omen who spend most of their time
In tailor-made clothes they offer the
ipice of variety t change from Mouse
ind skirt or tailored coat and skirt. Be-
tides, more of them offer possibilities
remodeling suits that the thrifty
e not going to overlook.
Two very flue models In all-day
dresses will not have to ask twice for
the attention of alert women. They
re pictured here and hardly need de-
rlptlon. In both of them the skirt
nd smock Ides Is carried out. It has
been managed with wonderful clever-
ss In the dress of dark blue serge
till a girdle of Jet links and rings
ibout It. Iu this model a plain skirt Is
t onto an underbodlce that carries
the sleeves. A light silk serves for
this with underarm pieces and sleev
of the cloth. Two straight pieces o
cloth having inverted plaits down the
center are fastened to the underbody
at the waistline, with snap fasteners.
Below the waistline they hang free, re
veallng the skirt at the sides. Squares
of embroidery at the front of smock
and skirt exactly suit the tailored dress
for which they make a handsome
tlnlsh.
If one has In mind remodeling an okl
dress or making a skirt do double duty
jibe (annot do better than to carry out
a scheme like that shown In the second
dress. This Is a short smock, banded
with satin ribbon like the skirt In color
and ornamented with satin-covered
buttous and an all-over braided pat-
tern. Henna-colored Jersey cloth with
dark-blue braid and ribbon Is n frie
combination for the smock to be worn
over a plnln blue cloth skirt.

of these people have become total
abstainers, say local authorities. It s
the confirmed "boozer and sot' that
still continues to drink and in the
absence of the genuine John Barle-
corn he has been forced to discover
substitutes. They say that some
•uprising discovers have been made
by the fellows who simply must get
"stewed."
Vanilla extract, Jamaica Ginger,
Lyco, and Bay Rum are among the
most notable of the long list, altho
it is a well known fact that a regular
"pickled condition" can be obtained
by drinking a certain much used
brand of shoe polish.
Drunk Arrests Increase.
The consumption of such products
as named above have a tendency to
make the individual ''crazy drunk'
and as a result local police records
show that there are more person ar-
rested in Noman and put in jail for
drunkness now than in the days pre
ceding National Prohibition.
"National Prohibition is a success
here in Norman," is the opinion oi
Chief of Police 11 L. Sanderson,"
but there are more drunks arrested
and put in jail now than ever be
fore in the term of my office" he
adds.

Law Tighters.
"Then too, stricter enforcement oi
the laws, and closer attention to sus-
picious looking person accounts of
the increase in arrests.
"In earlier days it was not so
noticeable as it now" he continued
but now they are picked up or re-
ported quickly.
"As for the city of Norman itself
there are very few local violaters
but* a targe number are put off the
Santa Fe here and then many others
come in from Oklahoma City on the
interurban.
Best City In State.
"Norman is the best city in the
state in regard to the enforcement
of liquor law«4, regardless of fcize
and it is these strangers rather than
local citizens who have made the
number of arrests greater," he con-
cluded.
According to Chief Sanderson
there is comparitively little corn
whiskey and home-made wine in this
vicinity and thus far no cases of
.vood alchol poisoning have been
noted.

POOL HALLS IN CITY
Many people new to Norman
wonder why there are no pool halls
here when they are so prosperous
in other towns of the same site in
Oklahoma.
Norman was not always a model
in this respect. A few years ago, not
so far back but what some veteran
university students can ^member,
thfere were exceedingly prosperous
pool halls in the University City.
They were so prosperous in fact,
at the expense of the sporting pro-
clivities of the university students
and the youth of Norman, that the
powers that were decided that they
were a useless incumbrance to the
prosperity of the community and so
they were banished.
''Lots of funny things have happen-
ed to me," said one of our jovial Nor-
man citizens yesterday, "but up to
this time I've never been shaved by a
female barber."

the new Triplex Springs give
car and passengers remarkable
riding steadiness.
They give 130-inch Spring

This makes for the gently

in upkeep, fuel and tires, and
convenience of handling of a
